I want to say, Good luck!!!! i want to grow up and have a retirement farm for horses that are no longer wanted because they can’t run as far or breed as many mares as they wanted. sometimes it makes me wonder what runs through some people’s heads as they send their beloved animals to a slaughter house in Mexico. Do they care that their animals last moments will be spent terrified and undernourished, probably disgusting and filthy? Once again, good luck! if i could i would donate my entire live’s savings to your farm! keep the dream alive!

This is a strange situation and I hope they can pull through. But a bell should have rung when the biannual payments ended up being the same as the monthly!
Since it is the bank’s mistake it seems that they could work out a payment plan over the next few years.

I’m with Elizabeth/Ky, where’s the money they would have had to pay on a monthly basis? Yes, the bank should make a separate loan for their mistake. It all doesn’t make sense.

That makes me mad… the bank should take credit for its own mistake

That is horrendous….but why don’t they still have the money if they weren’t paying the biannual rate? They still should have had enough to cover the mortgage if they had been paying it monthly, right? Where did that money go?

What a good idea for helping our “OLD FRIENDS”, Bbut I also think that the bank should help out here, since it was their err that caused this.
